Themepark Tour 2021 - Part 2

Disneyland Paris

Monday - August 9th 2021

Since we had visited Disneyland Paris many times now, we decided to have a rather relaxed trip, however we wanted to make use of the Extra Magic Hour in the morning. Once we got up, we headed straight to Starbucks to get a coffee for the 20 minutes walk to the parks. When we arrived, the gates were already open for hotel guest. Our first ride for today was Buzz Lightyear's Laser Blast followed by Hyperspace Mountain. Although I really like that coaster, I'm not the biggest fan of the Star Wars overlay. Afterwards we left Discoveryland behind and walked over to Frontierland to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the wildest ride in the wilderness. Wait times were still low and so we got in line. Next was Phantom Manor and we were a little bit excited, because since our last visit Phantom Manor got refurbished and enhanced with new effects. We were really happy with the changes and so we decided to have lunch now.

Recently Disneyland Paris started to add vegan options to some of their restaurants and one of them was Silver Spur Steakhouse in Frontierland. The vegan offering sounded really good and so we gave it a tray. We were able to get a walk on table and soon we were greeted by our lovely waiter. Claudia and I both ordered the avocado salad for starter and the vegan skewer for our main course. I'm glad we gave Silver Spur Steakhouse a try, because the vegan menu was really delicious. Now it was time for Pirates of the Caribbean, another favourite of ours. Since it was very crowded and very warm, we returned to our room to relax a bit and hit the parks later again.

In the afternoon we headed back to the parks and since we hadn't been to Walt Disney Studios Park yet, we went there first. Unfortunately the waiting times were still very high and so we just walked around the park and checked out the stores for merchandise. Just recently Disneyland Paris opened a new area at back of the Studios Park dedicated to Pixar's Cars. Due to the upcoming expansion the Studio Tram Tour had to be shortened and was transformed into Cars Roadtrip. Additionally they opened a food truck with a lovely outdoor seating area, where we got something to drink. Afterwards we left the park again and got a couple of drinks at the Sportsbar in Disney Village. Before we returned to Hotel Cheyenne we had dinner at Vapiano.
